McCulloch wants Liverpool, Leicester target Jelavic to remain with Rangers

Rangers midfielder Lee McCulloch is hoping that the club can retain star striker Nikica Jelavic this winter.

The Croatian ace, who netted his 12th and 13th league goals of the season in the 2-0 win at Hibernian on Saturday, continues to be linked with both Liverpool and Leicester City and McCulloch admits the squad are worried about a potential departure as they chase a fourth straight Scottish Premier League title.

"We've just got to pray that Jelavic stays and that he wants to stay and he keeps on playing the way he's playing," McCulloch said.

"He loves it here. He's playing well for us and scoring goals. That's all the guys are worried about.

"He wants to be here and he's playing well - that's all we can ask for."
